Good way to start the day! With Whi... Grown Ups. ::)
Oh look! The classic Whiz... NOT THIS TOO!
At 10:45 they still had wristbands. Yeah, that concert really didn't get anyone. haha
LOOK MOMMY... AN EIGHT!
This crew started restraint checks at 25 seconds and was done and dispatched in 52 seconds. My-my. A wonderful Bull crew! Who whooda thought!
My epic fail attempt at getting a picture of Chang's track! haha
Revolution looks like it hadn't been touched. Who would want a hag like Revvy? ::)
If you thought we went to Aunt Martha's buffet... YOU WERE WRONG! Golden Corral.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Superman is due for a paint job this off-season.
Oh boy! Did you say the wait for Iron Wolf was over 10 minutes? I guess the future is bright!
Took this after someone passed out on our Demon train. ::) A very popular attraction indeed!
NOW PRESENTING THE STAR ATTRACTION! Big Gret/Blue Steel Electric Box.
umm... BEST THING EVAH! I think this is love.
First time ever seeing Show Stoppin'. It's a great little performance!
Telephone!
Two full switchbacks makes for an unhappy david.
Six Flags pays maintenence workers to make music, Where's Shapiro? Wait, Shapiro got pulled out? AL WEBER? God help us.
Oh we get it, Yankee Clipper is leaving soon. Hasn't operated all season. ::)
V2 is pretty darn photogenic!
Footer fan porn.
Yes, I know. I am a beastly photographer.
Holding Break 4evah!
MOVE YER HANDS! I'm trying to make a trip report here!
Whizzer is truly my favorite. A final ride (we got the last ride) of the night, holding the person you love really puts the finishing touches on a great day.
Superman doesn't need a paint job!! If you are in 2 switchback houses for Raging Bull, and you are not even in the switchbacks for Iron Wolf which is nothing, umm do you see a patern?? And Iron Wolf is a 28 person train (plus they had a broken row on one of the trains for Iron Wolf last time I was there), and for Raging Bull it's 36 people per train and 3 trains. Regarding Iron Wolf, all the time there are people that don't want to move into the station. They all just wait in the front row line, and can't figure out hey there are other rows to go in.
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"

There is no reason to remove Iron Wolf if it has a line that will not end. It's not as if the line eventually dies down. It was like this and more all day.
The line for Iron Wolf is more like everything else is crowded type of thing, and thus let's go to that ride. That line in which you took picture of from that point isn't really that crowded. To estimate the amount of wait from that point, I would say it's like going in the Batman tunnel part and when you know the line is in the Batman tunnel part, you know that's a short line for Batman the Ride.
Granted though I don't want them to take Iron Wolf down if the park doesn't give anything better, but who says the park is going to take it down? The park has open spaces because of Mr. Shapiro, so why even take down Iron Wolf yet unless this new guy is going to give us 4 or 5 rides; 2 flats in Iron Wolf, 1 where Trailblazer was, 1 where Space Shuttle America was, and 1 where Splash Water Falls was. And than now, who knows about Revolution, and if the park is going to fed up with that? We have a lot of space for flats, roller coasters, or anything. If they took down Yankee Clipper, could they even fit something in there?

Since Yankee Clipper runs an almost near identical layout as Loggers Run, I don't think something could replace it. If both of them get pulled out, a very very nice sized coaster could fit there. Doubt that would happen as our only opportunity was just lost.
Yes, I am sure the park knows they have enough open space so they won't run to tear anything down if they don't have a replacement ready. Sometimes, like with SWF, they think there is no choice. Splash Water Falls leaked badly, lost popularity and most types of rides like it have been disappearing all over. Would it have made sense to keep it up and not run it? I dont know. I can imagine a sign tha reads " Due to maintenance problems this attraction will no longer operate. We are still planning future projects and attraction for the park". They did not even take down the queue lines! lol
No way will they reuse these. They are like 20 years old and very little chance there is the queue would be the same for another ride. Now, it just looks tacky and ugly. They should have done away with it all and just flattened that area out/planted a garden there by GAR.

Didn't they reuse a good portion of Shockwave's queue on Superman? Or something like that.
The whole Queue house is Shockwave's.

If that is so, then hopefully the same will happen to you.

Actually, if they repaint them and cover them again, they could work just fine.
The way queues and their lines come together depdns upon the ride design. Any future ride in SWF's spot will need to be the same for those queue lines to be able to be reused again. SF is cheap but waiting 5 years to reuse queue lines is not like them. Just laziness. They took down the sun covers but left the actual queue line structure.
Yeah um put in maybe but throwing out anything is not that hard when you don;t need to be careful. Outside of the tragedy on Splash Water Falls in March 2008, the ride was taken down very fast. Month maybe. So the queue lines would not be harder or take longer to remove. They just blocked the former entrance off with a game stand but those stairs and queue lines next to GAR are visible to anyone who is not blind.
I think this is love.
